Review on Hard As Nails: Maximize Your Fly Tying Abilities With SOLAREZ'S Thin Hard Formula UV Cure Resin (4 Oz Bottle) - Made In The USA by Mdl Thurston

I've never tried to fly in my life, but I always thought the process seemed so mesmerizing and a great escape from the stresses of the day. I have not taken fly tying up yet, as there is not any water here that I could really fish in, living in the desert and all. I watched a few videos where they were using this resin to create the flies, and I thought this could work wonderfully for my new hobby.This is a really lovely resin, although it does have a lot of tiny bubbles that tend to get locked inside. So I let it set for about 5 minutes or so, and then a lot of the bubbles came up, except for the super tiny ones. These needed to be scooped out instead. This whole process took about an extra 10 minutes total to be able to work out all the bubbles, but once they were worked out, it set beautifully. The dough itself is a lot thicker than the other residents I've been working with, which was kind of nice because it was able to take the mica powder easily and take the colors well.The bottle is a really good size. It has a really nice fine point at the end, so it's good for precision application. The tip itself was a little bit tricky to get used to because it was just the very end with a cap on it that didn't really have an easy way to grip it to remove it. That is the one thing about this I would happily change. However, this is a very small detail that is surely a personal preference. The only other thing about the bottle itself that I would like to see differently is the end of the bottle tip to have a little bit of a broader flat lot to be able to get the last little bits out and make it a little easier to store upside down. When you're using resin, one of the biggest things is getting the bubbles out, so by having it easier to store upside down, you're not needing to flip the bottle to be able to get it. Overall, though, I'm pretty happy with this product. The quality of the resin is absolutely wonderful; it is really quite thick and it doesn't take very long to cure. I haven't had any real complaints about it, and I've done a few pieces using this resin already. Because it's UV resin, it cures really quickly and it stays liquid until I'm ready for it to cure. It doesn't have a really strong odor at all, and it cleans up easily, so I'm quite happy with this product.
